Blake Lively took her NYC-themed nails on a tour of the city

When you think of the most classic fictional New Yorkers, who comes to mind? We'll start: Jerry Seinfeld, Chandler Bing, and Serena Van der Woodsen are all basically synonymous with the city in our eyes. But as much as we love them all, one in particular definitely stands out in the chicness stakes.

Yep, Blake Lively's time as a hair-scarf-wearing, pretty-boy-dating, champagne-drinking Manhattan teen was no doubt iconic. But while the series (and Lively's time as a New York local) wrapped up back in 2012, it's evident she still knows her way around her old stomping grounds.

The proof? The fact that she just took her own manicure on a guided tour of NYC. Yep, after stopping by celeb nail artist @nailsbymei's Manhattan salon for a set of incredibly intricate New York-inspired nail designs, Lively made it her mission to practice the city-celebrating her nails were preaching, visiting the stops that served as inspiration.

"Taking my nails on a guided tour of NYC," she announced via Instagram Stories. "I'm fine. Being locked down for a year+ hasn't affected me at all. i'm just hanging out with my best friend, pinky in NYC. This is normal stuff."

And while we'll admit we were disappointed there were no inclusions of The Met Steps or Constance Billard (can you tell we miss Gossip Girl?), the mani did include everything from The Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge (both of which she visited) to a Dodger's cap and Pearl Oyster Bar (which also got their moments in the sun). Honourable mention to the hot dog and pretzel pairing, too.

After all that sightseeing (and we can only assume, hot dog/pretzel/oyster eating, too) Lively was evidently knackered. "I left the house. I documented it. Phew. That was fun. Maybe I'll do it again next year."
